The AirTAC Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL32X10SCA is a genuine single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Air drives the pull (work) stroke and the spring returns the rod — it rests extended on air loss.
The AirTAC MTBL32X10SCA is a compact single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. A 32mm bore yields a usable pull force of 224.8 N at 0.5 MPa, while an internal spring drives the rod out when air vents. The 10mm stroke is suited to short, high-force tensioning. A built-in magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing.
This SKU uses a CA pivot back cover, swinging on a pin to absorb arcing loads. It has a G1/8 port, an Ø12 mm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod, and a fixed rubber bumper. The riveted aluminum barrel keeps weight low. On air loss, the spring forces a fail-safe extended rest state.

Single-acting minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa (the air must overcome the return spring). Do not apply an external load during the spring return stroke. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Pull force (net of spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 224.8 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 363.0 N |
These are the usable single-acting forces after the return spring — lower than a same-bore double-acting MBL. Size with a margin.

Drawing a stripper plate back 10mm to free a stamped part, using the 224.8N pull force to overcome die friction before the spring extends it open.
Pulling a packaging vacuum cup assembly inward during a transfer cycle, relying on the fail-safe extended home to clear the conveyor path on air loss.
Drawing a pivot latch closed on a machine guard, where the CA clevis accommodates angular misalignment and the short stroke provides rapid seating.
This 32mm bore gives 224.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Step down to a 25mm bore for 132.6 N, or up to a 40mm bore for 339.1 N. It needs 0.2-1.0 MPa air to overcome the spring. Choose this MTBL pull type over an MSBL push type if your mechanism needs a fail-safe extended home. Unlike double-acting MBL units, this cylinder does not hold a mid-stroke load without air. Apply no external load during the spring return. Match the 32mm bore, 10mm stroke, PT thread, CA pivot cover, and -S magnet for replacements.
Quick checklist
It is a single-acting pull cylinder requiring 0.2-1.0 MPa air pressure (minimum 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring). The usable pull force is 224.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 363 N at 0.7 MPa. The spring extends the rod automatically when air is released.
Yes, the -S code means a built-in magnet for AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (electronic) switches. The CA back cover is a pivot/clevis joint allowing the cylinder to swing on a pin, ideal for arcing loads. It has a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.
